Did It On 'Em
This is a chartreuse cream which kind of caught me off guard. I did not expect to like the color as much as I did. I have no idea how, but it made my nails appear narrower and longer. You won't hear me complaining about it... Application was good. I used three coats plus a top coat for the full even coverage in these photos...

Fly
A beautiful teal cream. This one applied thin with the first coat, but did build up very nicely. Make sure to use a nice base coat with this one as it did stain my nails blue (I was lazy and skipped the base coat... lesson learned). The photos below are three coats plus a top coat...

Pink Friday
A sweet pink cream. This one was a bit thicker than the other creams and therefore only required two coats for full coverage. Definitely a shade I would reach for if I needed something quick, clean and work friendly. Didn't expect to find such a shade in a Nicki Minaj inspired collection, but I like it. This it two coats with a top coat...

Metallic 4 Life
A black jelly base with small square and larger hex silver glitter. I love this one. The silver makes a nice pop against the black. It had full nail coverage at two coats, but I applied three just to get more glittery goodness. These are with one layer of top coat...

Save Me
This glitter consists of small silver glitter in addition to blue and holographic bar glitter. I am not sure how many coats of this it would take to get full coverage, but I did not try it on its own. I consider this a layering glitter. The holographic glitter was hard to capture in the photos although it was not at all shy in real life. You can see it best in the bottle of these swatches. I applied one coat plus a top coat over all three creams in the collection...

Super Bass Shatter
A purple shatter which as far as I'm concerned works well over any color in the collection. My favorite combo though was with Did It On 'Em. I like the contrast in this case. What makes this shatter special is that it is not a cream, but a strong purple shimmer instead. I applied one coat of shatter over the above cream with Save Me combinations...

Great swatches!!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches indeed! 8D At first I wasn't too excited about this collection, but after seeing your swatches I might be tempted to buy Metallic 4 Life or Save Me.
ReplyDeleteI have a question about Save Me, though - do the bar glitters bunch up when you apply the polish?
Nice collection, but I'm still doubting if I really need any of those.. :) Btw Save Me over Pink Friday looks gorgeous!! You did a great job!
ReplyDelete@Ruxi, thank you! :)
ReplyDelete@Maria, I applied one light coat and it did not bunch. What you see is just regular strokes as I would apply any polish.
@Ritterbraten, thank you! Save me over Pink Friday was my favorite combo too :)
Really good swatches :). My 2 absolute favourite in this collection are Metallic 4 Life and Fly.
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches! I love this collection. I got Metallic 4 Life, Save Me, and Did It On Em. I love the depth of glitter in Metallic 4 Life. Fly looks gorgeous too though I'm trying to resist. I love how Save Me looks over Pink Friday. I tried it over a light pink creme similar to Pink Friday and loved the results.
ReplyDeleteI love the solid colors.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that I don't find the other ones too appealing since I usually go crazy over glitters and sparkles.
Thanks for sharing this =D
@Nail Stories, excellent choices :D
ReplyDelete@Katie, It is such a fun collection. I agree with you, I love the dept in Metallic 4 Life and Save Me is too cute over pink :)
@Kiwi, you might change your mind if you see the sparkle in person. Hard to capture in photos :)
